Adobe shows a tech study prototype of a lens that provides depth information in an image. Imagine a blur or sharpen brush that understood how far away everything was!

Unless you read French, just watch the video:

This isn't a product they're developing, but I could see something like that getting miniaturized and mass-produced.

yea saw that one today doug, very interesting and looks useful. I think that for us photographers today the technology is really providing a kinda third dimension to the art.
